Reporting data to network server with PoKeys57CNC device
PoKeys57CNC devices can automatically report sensor values to various network servers using the
HTTP POST, HTTP PUT or text-only protocols.
To use this reporting feature, user must specify reports type (RAW, UDP, Xively, Standard HTTP
POST/PUT or custom), server IP, server port number and update rate.
Custom report type
The request header is constructed of two parts – HTML header and data header, divided by double
new line character (\n). Example header (Xively.com web service):
